§ Sir A. MONDThe ground in question was enclosed in order to restore it after it had been used for the drilling of troops during the War, and the fencing will be removed as soon as the grass is strong enough to be in constant use.
§ Lieut.- Colonel MOORE-BRABAZONasked the First Commissioner of Works why certain football teams are allowed to play, to the exclusion of all others, in Hyde Park on a piece of ground that is debarred to the public?
